If you use wicket-component-expressions from com.googlecode.londonwicket you can get to the list of all the components on the page that have that "username" id via a regexp of "**:username", but as James mentioned earlier, the ID is not unique and your wicket component tree might have such multiple nodes (hence why wicket-component-expressions gives you a list of them).
I normally know that my panel has only one such component by the ID since I developed it, so if I attach it to my page inside a panel with an ID like "myPanel" then I use "**:myPanel:**:username" and I also filter by the component type such as TextField.class to narrow down the search. That's not production code, is unit test and I'm assuming that's the context of your question. By using such regexp, I found myself refactoring the unit test code less when shuffling panels on a page. ~ Thank you, Paul Bors -----Original Message----- From: James Eliyezar [mailto:ja...@mcruncher.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 4:12 AM To: users@wicket.apache.org Subject: Re: Is there a way to search component by its wicket ID ? Because the id is unique only within the markup container of a component. It need not be unique in a page. This is by design.
